Perryn Keys, of The Advocate, reports Washington Redskins running backs coach Stump Mitchell has received an offer to become Southern University's next head coach, but Mitchell cannot technically accept the job yet. Mitchell said, "You can tell the (SU System) Board of Supervisors that I will see them Wednesday (Jan. 13). I will be in Baton Rouge (La.) on Wednesday." Mitchell said he must still meet with the Redskins' team management for an exit interview. Mitchell said he will meet with head coach Mike Shanahan Monday, Jan. 11, and that he is not looking for another job as an NFL assistant.

The Associated Press reports the Washington Redskins signed Stump Mitchell as the team's assistant head coach and running backs coach Wednesday, Feb. 13. Mitchell was the Seattle Seahawks running backs coach since 1999. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
